I think they're referring to PWA-style "Add to Homescreen", which I agree is a weak point of iOS/MobileSafari. I also wonder why there isn't good/any support for WASM in Safari.

Does android provide a way to launch this dialog from within the website?

iOS has a PWA-style add to home screen dialog, but it's part of Safari. It's accessed from the share sheet.

Chrome on Android will indeed present an "add to homescreen" dialog when the user visits a PWA.
